LANGUAGE OF HORTICULTURE.

What droll things are to be met with
in Gardeners Gazettes, or in Half-hours
with Horticulture, or in Conservatory
Chronicles,or in whatever other blue
apron and pruning-knife journal falls
under the non-technical eye! Here is
peep into one of them, just to show its
fruits of learning and flowers of speech.
In it we read of an orchard-house in full
swing; of stage in conservatory; of
melons having a collar; of a primula
getting a habit; of gloxinias wanting
shift; of all plants requiring to be
dressed; of peaches forming elbows; of
potatoes having well-ripened eyes; of
currants having spurs; of pines wanting
hot-water pipes under their beds; of
specimens being starved to rest; of roses
being impatient of sap being inclined to
rush away; of azaleas not liking tobacco
smoke: of figs running riot; Of grapes
that can stand sulphur-fumes, that are
well out of the way, that are no end of
trouble, that may not be left to them
selves, that will not be hurried, that can
get rusty, that are grosshabited, that
dislike to be buried, that refuse to be
finished of, that rob one another, stone
themselves, have warts, and can color,
and swell, and bleed, and start! Gar
dencrs, also, are directed to do dreadful
deeds. They are to pinch the vines, to
stake the carnations, to strike
veronicas, to behead winter greens, to
turn out bouvardias, to reduce climbers,
put endive into cold-pits, prick out
celery, and stick peas! The territories
in which all this is to be done are as
uninviting as possible. They are full,
so we read, of red spiders, greently,
earwigs, mealy bugs, wircworms.
caterpillars, carrot grubs, mag
gots, mildew, snails. ants, slugs, scale,
club, and cats. Nor are tho weapons
with which war is to be waged against
these any sweeter to the imagination.
Gardeners are to arm themselves with
clay, tar, chalk, SCOT. lime. bran,
sulphur, sweet oil, wood ashes, gas
lime, resin, soapsuds, softsoap, nicotine
soap, tobacco dust, tobacco paper,
guano, quassia, paraf1ine, hellebore
powder, tir-tree oil, brewers grains,
and red-lead. In such perpetual battle
against garden pests-as they are
called-the only pleasant thought is
that all seems to be greatly in favor of
the Chambers Journal.

TO CLEAN CARPETS.

To one quart of warm water add five
ounces of borax, pulyerized. When
cold add two ounces of aqua ammonia,
one half-ounce of sulphuric ether, one
half-ounce of glycerine, and one half
ounce of spirits of wine. Take two
tablespoonful Of the mixture and put
in one quart of warm water-or same
proportion-and with a cloth or sponge
rub the carpet briskly. It is not ne
cessary to use the liquid very freely, but
q liberal amount of foam or suds will
be developed, and rubbing this briskly
over the carpet appears to be the most
effective agency in cleaning and rcnova-
ting it. After few square feet of the
surface has been thoroughly rubbed
with the foam dry with dry cloth or
sponge. Do not use the liquid too freely
or get your carpet too wet. This APP
plication does not injurc the most deli
cate colors, hut oD the contrary revives
and brightens them and restores the
dirtiest carpet to almost its original
beauty, removes grease-spotsand smears
of almost every kind, and is easily
applied without removing the carpet
from the floor.

witness: On Thursday W. w. Jones was tried
for larceny, and the jury found that be was in
